Fishing for Chickens.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


 An expert chicken thief is behind the bars at the Third street police station, mourning the unlucky chance that led him to leave the door of the coop that contained his prey open just as a policeman entered his habitation. The gentleman with the predatory tastes is William Bushnell, dweller in a shanty- boat near the mouth of Mill creek. He is married and has three children, who do not mourn the fate that has overtaken him. His arrest came about through his neighbors re- porting the fact of the disappearance of their fowl and their openly ex- pressed insinuations that he was hav- ing chicken stew too often.
 Yesterday morning Sergeant Bren- nan called at his house, and on catch ing sight of his face recognized him as the identical person who, some years ago, stole every chicken in Cummins- vile, and did not leave single turkey on the Tanglewood farm. He opened the door to admit the sergeant, and as he did number of chickens owned by a neighbor, Mrs. Budkiff, jumped out and proclaimed their presence by sundry cackles and crows. Seeing that he was discovered, Bushnell broke into a run and dashed up the bank only to be caught hy the fleet footed sergeant.
 Going back Bushnell tried to show that the chickens were his and that he had no more than those in sight. In support of his statement he opened several doors, but in his excitement made the fatal mistake of opening an- other coop. A dozen more chickens marched out and Bushnell gave up in despair.
 After he had been taken away 8 shantyman named Anton Barhuski lodged complaint against him, stating that he had stolen a saw ard draw knife. A second search revealed the implements and novel fishing line which was baited with kernels of corn and was used to catch chickens. Two charges of petit larceny were placed against him. His wife declares that he has been stealing the chickens against her protest and says that she will leave him.

The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not pride themselves on always having the correct time and wonderful and delicate mechanisms are devised to en- able them to do SO. But the more del- icate chronometer is made, the more subject it becomes to Arrangement, and unless it be kept always perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness. What wonder, then, that the human machine-so much more delicate and intricate than any work of Man should require to be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver is the main- spring of this complex structure, and on the impurities left in the blood by a disordered liver, depend most of the ills that flesh is heir to. Even con- sumption (which is lung scrof0la), is traceable to the imperfect action oi this organ. Kidney diseases, skin dis eases, sick headache, heart disease, dropsy, and long catalogue of grave maladies have their origin in torpid or sluggish liver. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, by establishing a healthy, normal action of the liver acts as cure and preventive of these diseases.

 THE SOLITUDE OF SELF.
BY WILL HUBBARD-KBREAE.

The lonelest thing in this lonely sphere Is self, in it's prison of blood and bone; Between the closest of comrades here Is a wall as stout as wall of stone. There are thoughts we think that we cannot To any being of woman born, For the letters of language they repel, And spurn with a proud, quick, reckless
 scorn.
 Eyes cannot express, nor touch translate The dreams reful gent that come to me; Nor the burning love; nor the blasting nate; Nor the truths supreme that my soul can
 see.
  When skies at sundown are splashed with fire vviied vision mine eyes behold, And look with the look of rapt desire At castles of glory and cliffs of gold, Where seas of jasper in jewels break On shoals of beauty and shores of bloom, Where never and never a heart shall ache On the awful verge of an open tomb. try to utter the thoughts that come To me in the hush and the half-light then, But, ah! for my lips arc dumb, and dumb To me are the lips of my fellowmen No matter if I should cry and call
 Till my tones went tingling unto the stars Man could not hear me; for o, the wall Between us forever It bars-it barsl And thus when I struggle my love to speak, It's infinite secrets cannot name; For words are pulSeleSS ana cOlu ana WcAk, And wanting the force of the vital flame. may clasp thy limbs and thy lips may kiss May strive to speak it, but strive in vain, And reelinR with rapture, ablaZe with bllss feel the stab of a secret pain. For, Oi thou cannot and cannot know The love untongueable that is mlne; An, God in gloryi why is it so?
 Why-why this darkest decree of Thine? Alone! O, God that the ghost of me
 In it's flesh and fibre must be alone That my bright beloved can never see Nor feel the thoughts that are all mine own And so with the eloquent hate eterne That l have and hold for the whelps o1
 Wrong;

Between the Acts. nnl

When the curtain went down on the first act the woman said:
 "You have seen the story of Kel- logg's marriage, of course? Odd af- fair, wasn't it?"
 The man expressed his surprise, and she went on: "Kellogg came from Charleston, s. O., you know. I don't know whether she was born there, but the first time ever saw her she was young girl and her mother was said to be making her living as 8 Spiritualistic medium. They were poor then, and I fancy Clara Louise had rather hard time of it. I am told that she had been extremely gen. erous to all her family and they are selfishly indignant with her for mar rying."
 The man then volunteered that he had the pleasure of Miss Kellogg's &C., quaintance and had the very highest sort of admiration not only for her voice but for her character and dispo- sition. "What pretty woman she used to be!' he exclaimed with rem- iniscent admiration. "And she is one of the women on the stage-and the number is not great unfortunately whose names have never been touched by islander. am sure some who are talked of suffer undeservedly, but she always stood so high that no one ever dared accuse her falsely. And yet she was not prude in any sense of the word only solid sort of innate pur- ity that made itself felt unobtrusively but effectually."
 "I wonder why she never married before," queried the woman. "She must be near forty I should fancy, if not quite that"
 Then the man proceeded to relate love story which, doubt, is gener- ally known. He said
 "I don't believe Miss Kellogg ever seriously thought of marriage but once and that was some years ago. She had always small coterie of de- voted lovers about her, but none of them seemed to find the way to her affections until she met a MT. Whit ney from Philadelphia, who was al- ways successful among women. There was not much about him to make men understand what the charm wao that the women always discovered, but this is frequently the case. He seemed commonplace enough, but he had a manner that made women his slaves. He was in New York most of the time and had rooms over we'll known shop on Broadway-rooms that acquired an unpleasant celebrity from the fact that a young woman killed herself there, it was never quite known why, but Whitney gave them up immediately afterwards and seemed good deal rattled for while by the circumstance. It was only few years later, however, that he en- gagged himself to Miss Kellogg and all the arrangements for the marriage were completed, when woman asked for an interview with the prospective bride. What she said only Miss Kel- logg can tell, and she never has done that; but at all events the engagement was broken that same day, and the songstress has been so indifferent to men ever since that even her most in- innate friends would not credit this story of her marriage until she herself announced it."

1 said "good night" as usual, and left Uncle Sidney Stone in the library. The hall lamp had been turned down, and was burning dimly as I shut the door behind me and started upstairs. Somehow the heavy shadows on the staircase made me feel "creepy," as uncle would have said, and strange feeling. as if I were not alone, came over me.
 The impression grew more distinct, and hurried up the steps, seized with a terror altogether new to me, and one which prompted me to make each step quicker than the one preceding. l did not stop to ascertain the cause, or to question the influence impelling me in this novel fit of cowardice, but flew across the corridor to my rooms Aa # gaunt spectre was in full pur- suit, instead of the quietness of Pied mont gathering about me. Opening my door rushed into the light and warmth of my apartments, with such a relief coming over me that I sank into the nearest seat laughing hysterically.
 What ailed me, had no idea had been my uncle's housekeeper for four years, and never had such an experi- ence before. Uncle Sidney was a bachelor, and taking fancy to me he had installed me general manager at Piedmont House, with the promise that at his death should be his sole heir. When he had first proposed this to me I hesitated, but the pros- pect of some time becoming mistress of this lovely home in my own right, was thing not to be lightly consid- cred by poor school-ma'am, so con- sented.
 Well, we had gotten along finely Uncle Sidney and Land had yet to repent being set down at Piedmont gates four years previous to my story.
 On the evening in question, we had been reading together in the library as was our custom during the long winter evenings, and I had left him deeply engrossed in new work or Spiritualism, which thing happened to be uncle's particular hobby.
 "To be of any importance in thi: world" uncle said, "one must have 6 hobby" and to reach that much de. sired altitude, he had embraced Spir. itualism. I never could bring mysel to believe in it, and hence, according to the law of antagonism, was tas becoming very hardened disbelievel in unclc's pet theories.
 We had often, as a matter of cOnse. quence, argued the matter pro ant con, and had been indulging in oul favorite pastime at some length ol this particular evening; so when had gained my usual quietness o nerve equilibrium, I said to myself "Pshawl it was all that horrid Spir itualism."
 Then I resolved to never argue agail on the subject, if 1t served me lik that; making me desperate coward
 But that harangue delivered to m, reflection in the mirror, while braided my hair for the night, was al surface work. I felt inwardly tha something was wrong in the hall, i spite of lip protest.
 Should I go down and see? I coul make pretext of getting my book c drawings which left in the library could go to the kitchen for a glas of water, and no one would have . sus pici0n of my presentiment, or what ever 1t was. I had no idea what sort c an influence had come over me onl felt, in ., ,shuddering, daxed way, tha

What is this Disease that is
 Coming Upon Us?

| uc NA0 W al OSs AAO RAtAOutS u0VO pdAHS about the chest and sides, and some times in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has bad taste, es- pecially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is feel ing like heavy load on the stomach; sometimes faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after few months it is attended with greenish- -colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood be- comes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yell low ; the urine is scanty and high-col- ored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently spit ting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes with sweet ish taste; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes impaired, with spots before the eyes; there is feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one- third of our population has this disease in some of it's varied forms.
 It has been found that physicians have mistaken the cause of this dis ease. Some have treated it for liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Extract of Roots, or Mother Seigers Curative Syrup, when prop erly prepared, will remove this dis ease in all it's stages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article.
 IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON.
